<a name="gst-plugins-good-plugins-udpsrc.description"></a><h2>Description</h2>
<p>
udpsrc is a network source that reads UDP packets from the network.
It can be combined with RTP depayloaders to implement RTP streaming.
</p>
<p>
The udpsrc element supports automatic port allocation by setting the
<a class="link" href="gst-plugins-good-plugins-udpsrc.html#GstUDPSrc--port" title='The "port" property'><span class="type">"port"</span></a> property to 0. After setting the udpsrc to PAUSED, the
allocated port can be obtained by reading the port property.
</p>
<p>
udpsrc can read from multicast groups by setting the <a class="link" href="gst-plugins-good-plugins-udpsrc.html#GstUDPSrc--multicast-group" title='The "multicast-group" property'><span class="type">"multicast-group"</span></a>
property to the IP address of the multicast group.
</p>
<p>
Alternatively one can provide a custom socket to udpsrc with the <a class="link" href="gst-plugins-good-plugins-udpsrc.html#GstUDPSrc--sockfd" title='The "sockfd" property'><span class="type">"sockfd"</span></a>
property, udpsrc will then not allocate a socket itself but use the provided
one.
</p>
<p>
The <a class="link" href="gst-plugins-good-plugins-udpsrc.html#GstUDPSrc--caps" title='The "caps" property'><span class="type">"caps"</span></a> property is mainly used to give a type to the UDP packet
so that they can be autoplugged in GStreamer pipelines. This is very usefull
for RTP implementations where the contents of the UDP packets is transfered
out-of-bounds using SDP or other means.
</p>
<p>
The <a class="link" href="gst-plugins-good-plugins-udpsrc.html#GstUDPSrc--buffer-size" title='The "buffer-size" property'><span class="type">"buffer-size"</span></a> property is used to change the default kernel
buffersizes used for receiving packets. The buffer size may be increased for
high-volume connections, or may be decreased to limit the possible backlog of
incoming data. The system places an absolute limit on these values, on Linux,
for example, the default buffer size is typically 50K and can be increased to
maximally 100K.
</p>
<p>
The <a class="link" href="gst-plugins-good-plugins-udpsrc.html#GstUDPSrc--skip-first-bytes" title='The "skip-first-bytes" property'><span class="type">"skip-first-bytes"</span></a> property is used to strip off an arbitrary
number of bytes from the start of the raw udp packet and can be used to strip
off proprietary header, for example.
</p>
<p>
The udpsrc is always a live source. It does however not provide a <a href="/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/gstreamer-0.10/GstClock.html"><span class="type">GstClock</span></a>,
this is left for upstream elements such as an RTP session manager or demuxer
(such as an MPEG demuxer). As with all live sources, the captured buffers
will have their timestamp set to the current running time of the pipeline.
</p>
<p>
udpsrc implements a <a href="/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/gstreamer-0.10/gstreamer-GstUriHandler.html#GstURIHandler"><span class="type">GstURIHandler</span></a> interface that handles udp://host:port
type URIs.
</p>
<p>
If the <a class="link" href="gst-plugins-good-plugins-udpsrc.html#GstUDPSrc--timeout" title='The "timeout" property'><span class="type">"timeout"</span></a> property is set to a value bigger than 0, udpsrc
will generate an element message named
<code class="classname">"GstUDPSrcTimeout"</code>
if no data was recieved in the given timeout.
The message's structure contains one field:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem"><p>
  <span class="type">guint64</span>
  <code class="classname">"timeout"</code>: the timeout in microseconds that
  expired when waiting for data.
  </p></li></ul></div>
<p>
The message is typically used to detect that no UDP arrives in the receiver
because it is blocked by a firewall.
</p>
<p>
A custom file descriptor can be configured with the
<a class="link" href="gst-plugins-good-plugins-udpsrc.html#GstUDPSrc--sockfd" title='The "sockfd" property'><span class="type">"sockfd"</span></a> property. The socket will be closed when setting the
element to READY by default. This behaviour can be
overriden with the <a class="link" href="gst-plugins-good-plugins-udpsrc.html#GstUDPSrc--closefd" title='The "closefd" property'><span class="type">"closefd"</span></a> property, in which case the application
is responsible for closing the file descriptor.

<div class="informalexample"><pre class="programlisting">
gst-launch -v udpsrc ! fakesink dump=1
</pre></div> A pipeline to read from the default port and dump the udp packets.
To actually generate udp packets on the default port one can use the
udpsink element. When running the following pipeline in another terminal, the
above mentioned pipeline should dump data packets to the console.
<div class="informalexample"><pre class="programlisting">
gst-launch -v audiotestsrc ! udpsink

gst-launch -v udpsrc port=0 ! fakesink
